Question
These pictures were taken mid-May from my garden in Woodbridge, CT. I'm trying to ID the lettuce-like plants (not the violets, which we also eat). They reseeded themselves and I add them to my salads. My wife won't eat them as the hairs on the leaves bother her palate. The plants have recently bolted - stalks are 3-4 feet tall, but have not yet flowered. I don't recall planting them unless they came from a "mixed greens" lettuce packet I seeded a few years ago.
Answer
Dear solarpv, I'm sorry I cannot help you with this one. My realm of expertise is wild plants, and there are simply too many cultivated species for me to be familiar with them. I wish I could be useful for you.
